CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

We have often been told that Ave to Ave and one-half high card tricks should produce game at the most favourable contract, That is, of course, truo in general, but sometimes the most favour, able contract is so well concealed that even the most skilful players cannot find it.

Today's hand was played in tho National Masters' Contract Pair championship by 41 of the finest players in America, and not. one of the North and South pairs succeeded in reaching the proner declaration.

A little analysis will show that game can be made rather easily in spades if played with North ng the declarer. However, the South players were, without exception, so proud of their aces and kings that they refused to let North piny the band at spades though he hid and re-hid that Muit.

'Chicago, Oct. 10. The Illinois State Attorney has subpoenaed Insull's secretary with a view to ascertaihing who cabled him $20,000 to Athens. The secratary admitted, cabling the financier at Parls and Italy but said he had no knowledge of the remittance.

It la indicated authoritatively in Washington that whether Insull is returned to the United States or not, depends on the Greek Gov- ornment, for although the United States has ratified the Greck of ficial journal publishing the ex- tradition treaty, the ratifications have

CAPT. VON GRONAU SENDS S.O.S. MESSAGE

Manila Oct. 20.

An S.O.S. message has been pick-

South's opening bid depended largely upon the system played or on his individual preference. Moat South players bid one or two hearte, although some preferred fed up from Capt. Von Gronau, stat. to open with one or two

In every case North bid the Indian Ocean, north-west of spndes, South was delighted to Port Swettenham.-Router. hear the spade bid for it appeared to all up the only weakness in his powerful no trump hand, and he carried the contract to three no trump without hesitation.

The Play.

West opened the deuce of clubs and declarer won with the ace over East's jack. He now has two possible courses-he may try to establish North's spades, which soems almost impossible in view of his own doubleton, or he may play for a break in diamonds, hoping to establish the fourth card of that suit.

In either case the opponents will establish their clubs na 800 as they are permitted to take the tend. If declarer elects to try for the spades and, takes the double finesse of the nine spot on the second triek, he can make exactly eight tricks. North can easily take ten tricks if spades trump, conceding only one di- mond and two spade tricks to the adversaries,
